7-20-18 (Friday) HY: PU/PU Challenge + Pickle-Ball.

7-20-18 (Friday) HY: PU/PU Challenge + Pickle-Ball.

I again went to the gym early to set everything up and get my Challenge reps done and dusted.  Just 5 sets of 7 reps of the different variations.  Good little pump me up to start the session.

It was sort of an up/down day.  In the first game, I jumped out to a 12-2 lead, but couldn't maintain it.  John slowly but surely came almost all the way back, but I finally was able to close it out 15-13.  The second game was a little different in that we were pretty close all the way to 11-8.  A lot of lead changes and such. Then I just put it away with some crisp volleying and shot-making, 15-11.  Those two games were the first games in three weeks that John made it to a double-digit score.  The next two games brought him back down to a single-digit score, 8 and 3 respectively for the last two games.  But in the middle of the last game, I felt the sweat-gates open and the sweat just started pouring down my legs and into my shoes.  YUCH!!!  Also, at the beginning of the third game, I felt like I hit a slight wall and my legs just started feeling really weak and tired.  I had to really push to keep myself going.  I felt better in the final game, but still not at 100%.  But the most important streak for me now is the Consecutive Win Streak.  I'd have to check to make sure, but I don't think I have lost a game to John in almost two months.  It was a good day.

In the end, I burned a good 1226 kcals.
